Day 24.2: Fall flavors
I ended up going to Whole Foods, Valu Market and Kroger before my grocery shopping extravaganza was finished! I went a little over my budget (which was $40) but I splurged on a couple of seasonal items
This is why I love Fall!

There is also a “Nog” flavor that I will be getting closer to Christmas time.
I’ve been on the search for pumpkin butter for a while too and I finally found this little gem, which just happens to be local (from Hazard, KY) which makes it that much better!

These apples were no splurge, I got 3 lbs for $1.50!

When I got home, I was starving for lunch, so I had some leftover Vegan Refried Bean Cakes that I turned into a wrap when I topped them with salsa on a tortilla.

Then I had some carrots and hummus on the side to round out my meal. I really enjoyed this!

After shopping at all those places, I think I want to try and get more stuff from Whole Foods next time. They had a lot of winter squash on sale and also avocados for $1 each! I passed those up this time, but I did find peanut butter for $1.79, a new kind of hummus to try and of course the Silk Pumpkin Spice. I will be using that in my coffee tomorrow morning!
There were a lot of things that were more expensive though, like bread, lunchmeat, etc. that I buy for Josh so I doubt I will ever do all of my shopping there but maybe when we have a bigger budget.
I actually found some really great things at Valu Market, especially produce! So I think next week I may try to do Whole Foods + Valu only, we’ll see.
It’s time to go be crazy with Courtney at the Halloween stores!
Hope you have a wonderful day

I went to Whole Foods today too. I spent 60 bucks and barely got anything! Haha that place is addicting though. I probably spent most of my money there!
ooh Silk Pumpkin Spice? I haven’t seen that in stores around me yet!
Whole Foods is such an addiction!
I saw you applied for an examiner column – did you get it?
Hi Jess – I haven’t heard yet but I hope so
